President Donald Trump will give a statement on health care Monday afternoon, the White House announced.

Republicans in the Senate are struggling to come together on a bill to overhaul the nation’s health care law, and the White House is focused on helping advance the legislation.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is making a last-gasp effort to resuscitate the legislation after Trump insisted that senators not leave town for their August recess without passing a health bill.

The president warned Republicans Sunday, saying if they don’t repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, “the repercussions will be far greater than any of them understand!”

If Republicans don't Repeal and Replace the disastrous ObamaCare, the repercussions will be far greater than any of them understand!

Trump said Saturday that Democrats are obstructionists and that Republican senators must “step up to the plate.” Trump stated that after repeal-and-replace legislation occurred, tax reform and “infrastructure” would follow.
